Pretty sure that one is up at Volk field. If so it's been repainted. Fellow badger state resident here, that pic looks like it was taken inside the gate. Do you have any shots of the other gate guards?

Having visited Volk Field a few years back, the Mustang is no longer easily visible from the front gate.
I believe it was much closer in the early '80s.

You are correct, Volk field first aircraft inside the gate. Yes, I do have photos of many/most of the other aircraft there. I won't hijack Mark's great thread though.

Not sure how easy it is to see from the front gate, but it's easy to walk right up and touch it after entering the gate. it's part of the museum, one just needs to go through the visitor process.
